This meme was going around facebook, and I've been meaning to do something like this for a while. Just for kicks, leave a comment and tell me how many of these facts you knew (or didn't).

I didn't know any of them, but, frankly, I find such trivia fascinating. I often surf the web just to read that kind of thing.
